User Reviews for Estrace oral

It was very effective in relieving my vaginal dryness but I had to stop using it because of the side effects. I began experiencing vision problems and became intolerant of my contact lenses. It took a lot of research to figure out that my eye problems were caused by the Estrace. I have stopped using it and my eyes are back to normal.

I am 45 and had an eblation at age 40 which terminated menstruation. Started having hot flashes, dizzyness, feeling frail six months ago. Mentioned these symptoms to my doctor and he started me on this and it is like a miracle. I feel GOOD. The only drawback is the pill looks almost exactly like xanax, i really have to check and double check that i am taking the correct pill.

was just increased to 1mg after takin 1/2 that for 4 years. was having bad hot fashes and nite sweats. had a hysterectomy in 1996 but left 1 old ovary

I have used estrace 0.1mg for several years no problems, and most of all no hot flashes

My Dr. put me on 2mg of this along with 40mg prozac, after day 3 i noticed what felt like sand on my torso..and it itched, couple of days later almost looked like a flea bite..i have dogs but have never had a flea bite itch, i wonder if this could be one of the side effects..I'LL TAKE THE ITCHING which isn' that bad over the MOOD SWINGS FROM 0-90 AND HOT FLASHES THAT EVEN SURPRISED MY HUSBAND, ANY DAY...ITCH AWAY...OTHER THAN THAT, THEY ARE DOING WONDERS FOR ME...WOOHOO!!!

My fertility doctor has put me on this medicine to help assist in me sustaining a pregnancy. I am not pregnant yet but plan to be hopefully soon. this medicine makes me very tired!!

I had a partial hysterectomy when i was 22 years of age. I am now 35 and I just had to have an oopherectomy (removing both ovaries due to cysts on my ovaries and 1 was in early stages of cancer. Since i've had them removed i was started on Estrace "Estradiol" right away. when i first started with the pill everything went really well. mood swings are much better. I still have worries about the bone loss i've already had. for the past 5 years my estragen wasn't right. I am dealing with degeratative disc dease. and arthritis in my lower back.Read More Read Less

How does this drug help if you are trying to get conceive? Taking it in combination with femara.

I have not had any side effects and it does a good job with mood swings.

I had a hysterectomy due to fibroids and SEVERE mood swings. PMDD?!?! I put that name to shame. After my surgery and being put on Estrace my life has changed for the better. I'm no longer hormonal, angry, depressed, suicidal. AND I have no side affects. Not one!! This was the best thing that could have happened to me.

have a lot of joint pain since taking this medication

I had a hysterectomy last year and needed some hormone replacement due to hot flashes and mood swings. The drug has worked well with those symptoms but have caused weight gain and swelling of limbs.

I have been on this drug for approx 90days and it has alleviated up to 95% of my hot flashes but I still have little sex drive, also I have recently been experiencing dizziness to the point that it scares me to drive. I am going to stop it for a few days and see how I feel, if no change then off to the docs I go.

before taking estrace,I was not sleeping well, I was experiencing night sweats which kept me awake, hot flashes, irratability, and a feeling frailty. but the sypmtoms dissapeared after about a week.

I have been on the medication and now I am having hot flashes really bad - alternate between hot and cold. They occur day and night. Worse problems since I started hormones. I am going to change right away after contacting my physician.

After more than a year, I have become very sun-sensitive, have severe swelling in hands, feet, and lower legs, rash, dizziness, and no sexual interest.

At age 50 I had a radical hysterectomy and began estrogen replacement therapy. Seven years later I had DCIS (non-invasive breast cancer surgery) and was taken off my estrogen for seven months. I elected to start it again and had been fine. Last year I stopped, thinking at age 67 I was past needing estrogen. WRONG!! Insomnia, warm flashes, mood swings all came back. Just started back again on 1mg 3 times per week and looking forward to feeling better again soon. I'd rather live 10 more years feeling good than 20 more years feeling like I've felt for the past few months. I've been cancer free for 10 years and have yearly mammograms. My doctors say the benefits outweight the risks. Read More Read Less
